    That would be correct. 4KLG-07 is part of the current FTTP rollout

    The only exception that might fall out of the FTTP rollout would be apartment / units with ~100 premises within this FSAM. They might be considered for FTTB (Fibre to the Building).

    Little late to this, NBN hasn't shown me anything and only now found this.

    Oh no, we were unable to locate your address under the fibre build commenced or active footprints.

    That's what I get first hit for my address. Nearby suburb shows the previous 3 year plan for FSA with Q2 2015. So does this mean "something" is happening or that's just what I already knew � I was getting NBN until Liberals came around?

    add: what is FSA anyway beyond the glossary entry?

    I have a new version of the site coming out in a few weeks which should clarify a few things.

    But... unless otherwise indicated, anything under the "previous 1 or 3 year plan" is not under the current rollout. All rollout plans were basically ditched after the change of management. It doesn't look like an NBN rollout plan will be made public for a few months yet (at best).

    what is FSA anyway beyond the glossary entry?

    I'll explain relative to the Telstra network:

    • FSA (Fixed-Line Service Area) is like a Telstra ESA (Exchange Service Area)
    • typically, an FSA covers an entire suburb or several towns, just like an Telstra ESA does
    • it only represents the fixed-line portion of the NBN rollout. (i.e. excludes fixed wireless and satellite)
    • a FSA is serviced by a common FAN (Fibre Access Node) site, typically located within an existing Telstra exchange where NBN Co has rented rack space.

    Hey jxeeno, GG on your exams! I'm sure you aced them.

    Got a question on the address look-up on your site � is that bringing back live NBNCo results? Because apparently my place is ready to be hooked-up (install on Monday) yet every place I've checked reports my house as SC0 still. And we've not seen them actually pull fibre through the new pits yet...

    Looking forward to myNBN 3.0! :D

    Currently, address lookup pulls data straight from the latest version of the NBN rollout map. So, it can be off by up to a week. I'm also not sure if SC0 data is returned... from what I remember, I didn't code that in (oops).

    Next version of myNBN (myNBN 2.0) will use a triple-check system to see if you're able to order a service. I'm not sure if it will do live-check of SC0 at this time though... I'll have to see.

  • RuralDude

    I have learnt a lot about how it all hangs together for me through "MyNBN".
    So yes, thanks for providing this info.

    I know now that my wireless tower (2YON) connects to the Wagga Wagga POI (2WAG)

    As I understand it now 2WAG is not yet connected to NBN fibre.

    The next question for me is: is there a way to find out when 2WAG will be hooked up to NBN fibre.

    Does anyone know?

    Hi Guys,
    So the new part of my area is getting fibre. I drove around it today and found the FDH. I have an idea as to where the FSAM is but didn't think they would extend this far.

    I am curious as to whether NBNco will extend the fibre to my part of the area since we have new houses popping up.

    If not I am hoping the network extension program is put back into action.

    NBN Co has switched on the area late last night.

    As a note, the dates listed on the website are indicative and may be off by a few days :) While I try to keep them up to date, NBN Co only officially updates them once a month... and they don't release it directly to the public either. So those dates are sourced monthly and updated as soon as feasible.

    I'm working on a brand new solution for FTTN maps. Unfortunately, I'm still working out how to get the ACT LPI.

    Once that's done and we have the resources to crawl parts of the ACT for Telstra pillars, we can get some analysis done.

    I'll also be opening up to crowd-contribution into the future to speed up the process :)

    Media Release
    Malcolm Turnbull to join the myNBN team to announce joint venture

    We are pleased to announce that the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, will be joining the myNBN.info team as Lead Data Acqusition Manager starting today after resigning as the Minister for Communications this early morning.

    myNBN�s General Manager for Data Visualisation, Timothy Mead said:

    "Malcom brings with him his extensive experience with dealing with the NBN board and NBN executives in getting actual useful information from the management. We are so pleased to have him on board."

    Malcolm will coordinate with NBN Co to launch the first joint venture between myNBN.info and NBN Co -- the 6 year NBN rollout map. This new map and plan will contain detailed information to the public, including an indicative expected availability^, and information about the technology choice used in your particular area*.

    The industry leading map is one of NBN Co's latest efforts to reflect the Government�s requirements for greater transparency** as set out in the Statement of Expectations to NBN Co. myNBN.info will play a major role in ensuring this data is presented in an user-friendly manner.

    NBN Co's Lead Website User Experience Director, Krem Lyn said:

    "Starting tomorrow, the entire map of Australia will be shaded pink to indicate that build will commence in these areas before 2020. Like last December's release of the 18 month rollout plan, this 6 year rollout plan and map will help provide certainty to the Australian community that the NBN will be rolled out before 2020 across Australia, while not providing any further breakdown of dates beyond that."

    In working with NBN Co to deliver this updated rollout map, myNBN�s General Manager for Data Visualisation, Timothy Mead said:

    "To minimise confusion, NBN Co will only utilise a single colour and name to represent the technology across the rollout of Australia. We think the colour pink reflects our Multi-Technology Mix footprint magnificently."

    "This means that everyone in Australia will get the same level of confidence that the NBN will come to you - irrespective of what NBN Co intends to rollout in your area: Satellite, Fixed Wireless, Fibre to the Premises, Fibre to the Node, Fibre to the Basement or (fibre-like super high speed internet over) HFC cable (using industry-leading DOCSIS 3.1 technology which NBN Co will be one of the first companies in the world to rollout)."

    NBN Co's Chief Technology Agnosticist said:

    "The actual technology types are just labels. They don't really tell the full picture. So, as Malcom suggested, we've decided to stick with three-word slogans that everyone knows best and we think "Multi-Technology Mix" ticks this box very well."

    This updated rollout map weeks of preparatory work between the myNBN team lead by Malcolm Turnbull and NBN Co.

    To ensure the data's integrity and format consistency with other data on NBN Co's website, the map will only be published in an A4 print out in PDF format.


    Media enquiries:


    ^ Like the 18 month plan, NBN Co will state that all areas listed will be expected to commence build within 6 years. We won't tell the public when within these 6 years though.

    * The choice of technology used by NBN Co for all areas is the "Multi-Technology Mix". NBN Co cannot provide a further breakdown of technology beyond that of the "Multi-Technology Mix"

    ** Transparency only applies to certain aspects of the NBN Co. Actual information that is useful to tax-payers and Australian residents such as expected availability dates may be excluded to ensure the accuracy of information and to remove the slightest possibility that we may be accused of missing a target.


    Yes, this is an April Fools' joke. I acknowledge that satire isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there is a serious side to this.

    As I have outlined clearly on this thread and continually advocated in my spare time and with my money, the lack of transparency that NBN Co provides to the public -- especially regarding its current rollout is very disappointing.

    Having personally contacted the CEO of NBN Co, the Minister for Communications and various parties within NBN Co -- I have been unsuccessful in persuading them to release rollout datasets to the public.

    This "media release" merely points out the inadequacies of what NBN Co calls "transparent" information available on their website.

    A massive thanks to everyone who's visited, shared and supported the site. I will continue to pressure and ask the parties involved in the rollout to be more transparent on behalf of the over half a million Australians who have visited myNBN over the past 2 years.

    New feature � 18 month rollout map/build & RFS dates

    Hi jxeeno,

    I am curious how you are handling areas like 6APP-05 which were in Build Prep and then disappeared from the rollout map? At the moment this area appears as "No service" when I type an address but the 6APP-05 SAM is actually listed when I expand on 6APP FSA (whereas 6APP-06 which has not yet entered Build Prep doesn't appear at all).

    I thought it would be nice to at least identify SAMs which were previously in Build Prep but now removed (e.g. 'Build Prep completed' or 'awaiting Build' as distinct from just 'Build Prep') since once they come back they should go directly to Build.

    Of course this assumes Build Prep SAMs which were removed had the Build Prep completed (as was the case in 6APP-05) rather than partially completed or not at all.

    Google Maps data is pretty decent, but pretty useless in new areas since they don't update their data that frequently. That's problematic for the NBN rollout because so much of it is Greenfields areas at the moment.

    Have you any intel on what FTTn recently established � the Down AND Up speeds they are getting?

    Other than what's public available, no. More speed estimates, thanks to the work of Mr Mac, will be coming soon to myNBN though.

    Some service providers like tpg and iinet have it as available on their website.

    Hey Jxeeno,

    Just punched my address into the new v2 map and found something that I didn't expect.

    The other half of my suburb is getting FTTP built at the moment. My address (Elissa Crescent, Wyoming, New South Wales, Australia) falls under a different Telstra exchange area than what the other half of my suburb is which is why I figured that was where the FTTP rollout stopped.

    Putting my address into the site results in FTTP but the build dates don't make sense. Have the FTTP build dates that you specify been obtained from a special source as well as the FTTN dates? Or is there a mistake somewhere? Further into the next suburb (on the same Telstra exhange as me) it is definitely an FTTN area in the 18 month plan.

    Love your work jxeeno! Very well executed indeed.

    And sorry to keep going with the FTTN talk, but I'm wondering about the blanket March 2015 Build Commenced date for all the trial areas here. They seem to contradict the Build Commenced dates on the Service Area List. Belmont for instance is Sept 2014 there and was certainly being built at the time, so that would seem the more accurate date.

    If you get bored, make a way for people to report what isp they are on, what technology they are connected with, which poi interconnect they sit on and what speeds they get, and what date the data was recorded, then it asks them to verify their report regularly so the data is updated.
    Then we could all see where the slowness is within the national networks.

    Hi jxeeno,

    I just checked:
    http://www.mynbn.info/sa/list/state/WA/plan/yes/p/1
    where 6APP is listed as 'Last Build completes' in Q1 2016 whereas 6SPT and 6VIC which are more advanced (especially 6VIC which has only two FSAMs in Build Prep to mop up) has Q2 2016.

    Where did you get the 'Last Build completes' information from and for which FSAMs in an FSA does it apply to? Obviously something is a amiss with the 6APP, I don't see the 'Last Build completes' until at least Q2 2017 given 6APP-05, 6APP-06 and 6APP-07 have not even entered Build yet and Telstra was the DP for these FSAMs according to the December 2014 Senate hearing minutes:
    http://www.aph.gov.au/~/media/Committees/ec_ctte/estimates/supp_1415/communications/q209.pdf

    ADDITIONAL: Also when looking at:
    http://www.mynbn.info/sa/6APP
    It seems to include 6APP-05 now MIA as part of the 16,657 premises which will get FTTP out of the total 23,600 premises in the FSA .... what a mess .. sorry jxeeno ,,,, you have designed a brilliant site and should win top awards for web UI design but as they say .... garbage in _________________

    Your analysis is logical, but I think something has changed a lot with 6APP since Dec 2014.

    • 6APP is a bit out of whack, but according to data I have, there will only be 5 SAMs in 6APP. The last one being 6APP-07, with build expected to commence in April 2015 (on the map next month) and expected RFS of Q1-2015.
    • 6SPT will have a total of 8 SAMs with two more SAMs to enter build: 6SPT-08 and 6SPT-05. It's expected either one or both of those will be RFS by Q2-2016
    • and 6VIC will have a total of 10 SAMs, the final two which are currently in build prep will enter build phase on Apr-2015 and May-2015. It's expected either one or both of those will be RFS by Q2-2016
    • so, since 6APP only has one SAM remaining � it is logical to have Q1-2015 as its last build completion date. The other two FSAs (6SPT and 6VIC) will have to live on for an extra qtr before their two final SAMs are completed.

    Where did you get the 'Last Build completes' information from and for which FSAMs in an FSA does it apply to?

    It's from an expanded version of the 18 month plan. But it's not public, unfortunately.

    Sorry but this completely defies any logic, the former 6APP-05, 6APP-06 and 6APP-08 are part of the same HFC network together with 6APP-07 which originate from Bateman exchange. As such these FSAMs can no longer go to HFC (or even FTTN) build if 6APP-07 goes to FTTP and overbuilds the HFC network which originates out of it! And this does not even consider the fact 6APP-05 went to Build Prep late last year before being removed.

    I can only assume the politics at NBN are running red hot and they are desperate to move on all those promised FTTN builds which have to be in play by September 2016, not to mention new SAMs for the HFC builds; the cracks are beginning to show and they are starting to make mistakes.

    Apologies for shooting the messenger, you are doing a great job jxeeno, too bad the same can no longer be said about NBN and Co.

    Okay, after reassessing the data, I don't know if I can put total trust in that "5 SAM" figre. It looks like that the issue here is that this data deliberately excludes SAMs with HFC footprint, thus only counting 5. The current areas that are ready, or in build and build prep are the "FTTP-only" FSAMs.

    The remainder will go through the so-called Multi-Technology Mix, but probably won't get added until the HFC product is a bit more "finalised". That will increase the SAM count back up to 11.


    I will look to clarify the way I define "last build finishes". But it sure is confusing as hell.

    One last point though. My understanding is that NBN Co is essentially running its own HFC network up to the nearest optical node in the HFC network. Where the current HFC network originates from doesn't really matter.

    Ah yes but the design principles clearly state NBN Co will try to ensure areas have a consistent technology, if 6APP-05 goes to HFC it will be surrounded by FTTP to the north east and FTTN to the south west. Also seems silly to have only one SAM in an HFC area go to FTTP while the remainder go to HFC, especially when the other area (6APP-05) at the opposite end completed Build Prep for FTTP, a double waste!

    I think what has happened is that NBN has fed you the details of what they intend to do in the next quarter only, not from now until Sept 2016. So the remaining SAMs in 6APP will go to FTTP but NBN have not planned that yet for the next 3 months.

    I predict we will see 6APP-05 enter Build around Sept 2015 when 6APP-07 is completed (I notice it only takes 6 months for the core FTTP Build, the other 6 months are for the lead-in connections) but at the moment NBN doesn't even know that as they can''t think that far ahead (their crystal ball gazing is restricted to FTTN where they are able to predict 25,000 premises in Hilton and Bassendean will go to Build by Sept 2016 when they are still trialling FTTN!).

    Fully agree, only let down by the data provided by NBN Co.

    The best way to use the mynbn information are the details provided for the areas in RFS or Build only (I note the FDH DA details are provided, that is certainly cool!), all other information can be considered as tentative at this stage (especially areas in Build Prep which can suddenly disappear on a whim, and anything to do with FTTN which is pure speculation).

    Just curious, 2LID-07 is marked as RFS on V1 but it's still in Build Commenced (and heavily delayed) in V2. Devoted NBN SQ tool says it's ready to go, so might need to sync your data sources :)

    Thanks! I think I've found the rogue code that's causing the sync issues.

    Also, on smaller screens, the social buttons on the right hand side make it impossible to 'X' the 'beta' pop-up � well, almost impossible, removing it manually with Inspect Element does the trick.

    I'll remove those social buttons for now... they weren't really that effective anyway :)

    Just another thing � it's probably just a Google Maps thing that you can't do anything about, but scrolling around the map lags like absolute hell on my laptop (2008 era, Core 2 Duo, MacBook) thanks to the new orange shading everywhere. It's fine on my gaming PC, of course :)

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll look for a possible solution. At present, I get Google Maps to render the whole shading at once... it would probably make it easier for the computer to render parts that are close to the viewport.

    One last question � the automatic check for recent activations � does that happen every 24 hours? Faster, slower, when the data is pushed? (Sorry I'm being irritable, my area is meant to be RFS today!)

    It happens a little more frequent than that. Next run is at 3 o'clock. Continue to check on myNBN v1 for now, my NBN scripts had exceeded its weekly run limits due to the change of the nbn website this week.

    Hi jxeeno,

    Top job on the new site!

    I don't have a clue if this is possible...but in order to have a "big picture" view on the national rollout is it feasible to have a state by state breakdown by date of when "build instructions" were issued for each
    FSAM.

    I guess it would need to be limited either by number or date.

    It's not really possible to do it without some data wrangling in an Excel spreadsheet. You can get a vague idea by going to a state-list of FTTP rollouts and noting the build commenced column there, filter/sort accordingly on an Excel spreadsheet.

    The way that the database is structure at the moment makes it a bit hard to sort by build dates. I'm considering two options � replicating date fields in the rollout region table or doing SQL table views. It's something I'm definitely considering.

    What a brilliant site jxeeno.

    Looks absolutely beautiful :)

    I was wondering if you could possibly answer a question about nbns mapping as you seem to know your way around their systems.

    I have a friend who has a property in Darley, Victoria. For some reason the street he lives in is not listed in Google Maps (Darley Drive, Darley, Vic) even though a dozen properties have lived on it for 5 years now. https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.6474801,144.428842,17z

    The street shows correctly on Bing maps though. http://binged.it/1J6s5dP

    How does information on the rollout to his property work when nbn do not recognise his street because they utilise Google Maps who for some reason do not even show his street as existing?

    Hopefully that makes sense and sorry if this is offtopic to your tracker.

    Thanks.

    I've been getting a lot of angry emails and complaints... because of some confusion to how SAMs and Rollout Regions relate to the FSAM structure in the old site. For the benefit of the Whirlpool community, I thought I'd give a bit of an explainer:


    Previously on the v1 site, FSAMs were regarded as the "ultimate rollout block" which all information was associated to. An FSAM was given a "ready for service" date, amongst other things.

    However, as the NBN rollout evolved, an FSAM was no longer built in its entirety at first instance. The introduction of infill areas (INFs), service continuity regions (SCRs) and Fibre to the Basement rollouts (FTBs) meant that each FSAM (now SAM) had multiple ready for service dates and multiple technologies and multiple everything. This will only get more complicated with the MTM rollout ahead.

    To overcome this issue, an extra abstraction layer is needed -- the rollout region (under the MTM, this may be called a rollout area block -- RAB). A rollout region can be thought of as a construction block within an SAM -- meaning a ready for service date is associated with the rollout region and not the SAM. As are build commencement dates, and disconnection dates.

    It's important to note that a rollout region does not represent a single technology either. Technology is defined at the ADA (Access Distribution Area) level.

    I must emphasise that while I understand there is confusion in this change of abstraction, it is essential for this change to occur to accurately depict the rollout of the NBN.

    Feel free to post any questions below... and I'll try and answer them. Because if you're confused, then many other people will also be confused.

    1) I went to look for my Pillar and found it on the next street. By car odometer it's between 200-300m and using "Here" map it comes to 210m

    That is very good news for you. But the next thing you need to consider is how likely it is they will build a node at or near your pillar. How many other premises are there in you DA?

    NBN's target ratio that they keep announcing in their press releases (but have not published build standards) is 1 node : 200 premises. However in my town there are about 140 pillars, yet under 10,000 premises or about 70 premises per DA.

    If you can, it might be worth tracing your pillar's trunk back to the exchange or CMUX, and perhaps downstream as well. You may get an idea of where they may - or may not - build nodes.

    Just be warned, you may not like what you find. My DA has 99 premises, and the nearest upstream one 98. The nearest downstream one is over 1000m away, so I think the chances of there being a node at my pillar are slightly lower than NBN deciding to build me FTTP.

    Service Class definitions can be found in the FAQ: http://www.mynbn.info/faq/list

    how can one found out which service class their house/area is?

    A service class is assigned to a particular location. myNBN only displays service classes for locations in areas that are expected to be ready for service within 6 months.

    You can use alternative sources like DeVoteD NBN's SQ tool to check the SQ for locations around Australia... however, our guess is that the data is mostly unreliable unless your area is already in build thanks to some data fiddling done recently by NBN Co.

    That happens sometimes. Usually, it's because of MPS (multi premises sites) which account for an entire DA. Their rollouts may be delayed or offset to a later time for an alternate technology, e.g. FTTB.

    Seems like a rep from DeVoteD reads these threads, I just checked again and the Type correctly appears as MTM (rather than Fibre) across all searches. In fact the only difference is in the Service Class, it is 0 if you are in the previous government's under construction or 1 year plan (for FTTP) and it is 10 otherwise for all other areas. Not sure how significant this is but at least it is a record of what we had and an indicator of which areas may still get FTTP (i.e. those with Service Class 0 are still in the running).

    We had an interaction with T Country Wide reps (south of us) once, and it was plain evidence to note that the cable records they were reading for our area, was HOPELESSLY out of date!

    The records I've seen are very inaccurate, particularly on cable length. This may make their Service Qualification tests in future very inaccurate unless they improve the data or estimations.

    Yes Mr Mac,

    With help of clever people on here (Whirlpool) teaching how to correlate the DA numbers (on the streetside distribution pillars) meshing that with my own research ADSL2exchanges site etc AND chatting to long time residents. The TCW reps were quoting connections to DA that have been what I estimate 10 years approx. behind (for our locality)

    So if the SQ tools are using Telstra data, yeh well Good Luck with that !!

    Hi jxeeno, thanks so much for your site.

    I have a question: do you have or would you consider implementing some kind of API ?

    I ask for selfish reasons: I'm house-hunting and would like to make a browser extension that could scrape my page of real estate search results, look up the series of addresses and return some basic NBN-related info, injecting markup into the page accordingly. I think that'd be really useful

    Thanks again!

    Hi Mr Meeseeks,

    APIs are in the roadmap, but a spatial-based API isn't in the current plan. I'll be starting off simple with less computationally expensive APIs.

    APIs that rely on things like Google Maps will cost me larger sums of money... so while I'm not ruling spatial-APIs out in any way, the possibility of location/spatial APIs will probably be a "paid" API in order to recoup some of the costs of running extra servers and subscribing to Google Maps' API.

    On the note of real estate results though, I have been doing weekly lists for rental properties (and properties to buy are coming quite soon too) with NBN. /forum-replies.cfm?t=2401447

    Cheers!

    Hi jxeeno,

    Not sure if this was asked but is there any plan (assuming there is any point!?) in bringing back the FSAM maps from v1 for those areas removed or under old construction?

    Sometimes it is good to be reminded of the way it was (or would have been).

    Possible bug report.

    Not sure if it is a bug or just whacky data but the site has a RFS of 31st May for our local tower but also say RFS already: http://www.mynbn.info/rollout/3STE-51-06-POMN

    v1 has it as good to go: http://v1.mynbn.info/wsam/3STE-51-06-POMN

    Hi LagerFan,

    It's good news is that the tower is now active. It was activated ahead of schedule.

    Keep in mind that NBN Co's map is only updated once a week and is often one week behind reality.

    If you live in that area, you can now order a service with your RSP of choice.

    Hey PeteP,

    Depends... I might add it as an optional layer later. In reality, that data is some 2 years old... but I understand it's a good resource to refer back to sometimes.

    To hopefully clear things up a bit, I've added a message that shows up on all recently activated rollout regions saying that the nbn� website and rollout map may not be up-to-date.

    How accurate are the Rollout maps?
    My house was shown on the NBN coverage map falling into a brown hatched area, for wireless from a tower due to be ready for service on 30 Jun 2015. Then last weekend, "poof", my property disappeared from the coverage map but not my neighbours!
    Will this effect my connection to the NBN?

    It probably means that your suburb is not in the 18 month rollout plan. Keep in mind that not each suburb or exchange will have its own Service Area... NBN's network is different from the Telstra network; so a Service Area could span a few exchange areas.

    That said, nbn� is expected to release a 3 year rollout plan next month. You may see your suburb appear then.

    Just on v2 site, sorry for the stupid question, what does a Status of (GREEN colour) Preparation & when click into them just notes Preparation (Nov 2014) just checked a couple of areas of interest and that was what came up

    If you can believe what was announced the other day, nbn plan to release 3 years worth of roll out (out to Jun 2018 I think) within the next couple months

    In your expert opinion, how reliable could this info hope to be, for example if one was investing in a property in a roll out plan region - last minute changes really annoy people that like to have a long term plan

    Long term plans should not be taken with caution, especially when anything beyond 12 months. Heck, nbn� can't even get RFS dates 3 months out accurate sometimes.

    Hi Techno100,

    I haven't received updated rollout information yet. Since NBN Co no longer provides information publicly, the adding of new areas is typically delayed. I endeavour to get the information up asap.

    Seems like a rep from DeVoteD reads these threads, I just checked again and the Type correctly appears as MTM (rather than Fibre) across all searches. In fact the only difference is in the Service Class, it is 0 if you are in the previous government's under construction or 1 year plan (for FTTP) and it is 10 otherwise for all other areas. Not sure how significant this is but at least it is a record of what we had and an indicator of which areas may still get FTTP (i.e. those with Service Class 0 are still in the running).

    I have been spending much of lunchtime using DevotedNBN's SQ checker (sorry Glenn!) to try and work out what the story is with what technology is being rolled out where.

    I have noticed a pattern in cities that areas that are fairly substantial but lack HFC are showing as SC0, while HFC areas are SC10.

    A couple of cases in point.

    3RCM-02 (where I am; on the 3 year plan) is all SC0. Around it, everything is SC10. With the exception of a few streets north of Bridge Rd, there is no HFC. Detailed design for the area had been done I think because it was in the 3 year rollout plan under the previous government.

    3WIR-03, where my dad is, also shows SC0. What makes it interesting is that HFC is plentiful where he is, yet on the other side of the railway line (a dense business area) there is none.

    In Collingwood, Middle Park and South Melbourne (other islands of no HFC surrounded by HFC), they are showing SC10.

    I am guessing therefore that NBNCo is going on a SAM-by-SAM basis.

    If there is a significant portion of the SAM without HFC AND either there are lots of business OR detailed design's been done, then it's going to get FTTP.

    Otherwise, it will get HFC. I am guessing that there will not be any FTTN to avoid having 3 overlapping technologies in a service area...

    I will guess we'll see if these theories prove correct though...

  • 2015-Jun-1, 12:52 pm

    Off-topic from MyNBNs site, but with Devoted's SQ, my area was on the 1 year plan with the previous Gov, most surrounding areas/towns now have been added to the FTTN rollout, except us. When checking Devoted's website, I get SC0.

    Would there be a major reason why we haven't even been looked at? Our town is smack in the middle of all surrounding areas/towns, surrounding the town is FW everywhere basically, but I'm just stunned that we haven't been looked at or even considered. Especially for FTTN.

    I'm hoping I'm in the right place and that you good folk can help me as three different websites are telling me three different things about NBN access. The reason I'm keen to get an answer is before any NBN installation goes ahead, I want my house data cabled first but I'm not keen to proceed with that until I'm certain it's coming. Note: A PCD has not yet been installed.

    If I plug my address into NBN Co's website, I get "Great news, you can order an nbn� plan today"

    If I use mynbn.info, the result is "Brownfields FTTP. Not (yet) serviceable. Note! This area went live in the past few days. This service qualification information may not be up-to-date. Bespoke Connection Required. Service class 0"

    And finally, devoted SQ results in "NBN Fibre (MTM)** is coming to your place soon!"

    I don't want to order a service before having the house data cabled but I don't want to data cable only to find out there's no NBN. Can someone shed some light on the above results, in particular the "Service class 0" and "Bespoke connection required". My ISP (Internode) still shows a result an address search akin to devoted's result whilst iiNet agrees with NBN Co's result.

    Help!

    Edit: Whoops! It would help if I added that my area is 3BRA-07

    Edit 2: I'm told we did have NBN Co up and down the driveway chalk marking the conduit underneath and there's leftover pieces of some type of rope near our wall Telstra box and the Telstra pit at the end of the driveway.

    If you can decipher the supposedly "new" 1800 premises to enter Build in the next three months out of the remaining 12000 premises in Applecross FSA not on the rollout (6APP is around 50% completed with FTTP and the rest are in limbo) that would be handy!

    Or better yet the mystery of the missing 1700 premises in Victoria Park FSA (6VIC) which will go the Build in the next three months given ALL of 6VIC is currently in FTTP Build.

    Again, shameless plug, I'm doing an AMA on Reddit Australia from 1PM today :-)

    Too many social media portals for me to keep up with these days (facebook, twitter and now reddit?) so I will ask here the questions/concerns I have since April related to 6APP and 6APP-05 which can be generalised as:

    Q1) Any update on the status of the (mainly HFC) FSAMs which had completed Build Prep by Apr 2015 and were removed from the maps since then? Have any come back on the map or specifically mentioned in the latest 18 month or are they still in limbo?
    SUPPLEMENTARY: The theory is the SAMS with HFC are being held for NBN HFC, however this does not explain why 6APP-07 an area with HFC was fast tracked to Build Prep and then Build ahead of 6APP-05 (which was removed) given these are part of the same HFC exchange network?

    Q2) In the July MTM rollout map, the numbers don't make sense for FSA with FTTP Builds. I did some analysis here: whrl.pl/Relp3x which makes me believe NBN are reusing existing FSAMs recently gone to Build and declaring these as "new" areas which will enter Build by Q3-2015. Have I misinterpreted the MTM rollout map data (that premises numbers are for new Builds only) or is NBN providing misleading/ambiguous information (mixing up new Builds together with recent Builds)?

    Hmm, I only get the orange shading when I zoom out enough, but the boundaries are quite fuzzy so unless you are well within the orange shading I wouldn't hold my breath. What would be good is to click on the orange shading and be told which SA, or click within any green or brown area and be told which SAM, I don't think the current map is able to do that.

    Sorry, no... it technically can't be more specific.

    Rollout regions are classed as "Multi-Technology Mix" because technologies vary within a single rollout region. The technology used is defined on an Access Distribution Area (ADA level) -- e.g. 2BLR-01-05

    Typically speaking, nbn� does not reveal the actual mix of technologies used until at least 6 months before rollout region is expected to be ready for service.

    You can see the technology breakdown by for areas that are expected to be RFS within 6 months by going to their rollout region page (e.g. http://www.mynbn.info/rollout/2BLR-01) and looking under "Premises by technology".

    is there anyway to know what node i get connected to or if there is a node i have yet seen?

    im in hamlyn terrace and when i drive around there is number of them not far from each other..then there is a whole section of the suburb that doesnt seem to have any nodes in them at all...though its possible i missed one a street somewhere.
    We have three on warnervael road, one on primrose, then two on georgia about 100 metres from each other, then one on minnesota and another one about 100 metres from that around the corners on a street name i forget right now...

    but then there is a whole block of streets that dont seem to have even one node. by road most of that block would have to be around 1000 metres at least from any node....the biggest distance in this area. personally im about 600 metres at most from a node, so i should be fine..but what about those other houses? i cant see a node...and if there isnt one..are they going to be left without anything???

    That's possibly correct. Some May 2015 and June 2015 build preparation commencement dates have been a bit out of whack because of some backend code changes. I'll go back and fix these anomalies soon.

    Very off-topic, and you may not even know yourself, but how many nodes would they install to service a 700 premise town? As mine is slanted for 2H next year. Would they just install nodes at pillar (only seen 2 in the whole town and they are fairly close) or would they install new pillars/nodes where there aren't any in place?

    Question about the 18 month plan. 7HOB is listed here as last ready Q4 2016 (http://www.mynbn.info/sa/list/plan/yes/state/TAS), and the 7HOB page says it includes Sandy Bay (the press release also mentions Sandy Bay � http://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco2/documents/nbn-network-rollout-expands-in-tasmania.pdf). However this isn't reflected using my address on mynbn (or nbnco for that matter) � a huge chunk of Sandy Bay isn't filled in on the rollout map, roughly from south of Manning Ave down. Does the 18 month plan mean that this area will be covered or not? It's not clear from what I can see.

    oh dear, nbn� latest roll out dates and surprise surprise, the areas in 2WOY listed the other week as being RFS in December 2015 are now listed as Feb 2016.

    So, I have seen hinted dates of September, never believed this as it was the announcement date of the product release and the month following the RSP "onboarding"

    I have seen published dates of November, December and now February.
    so if we take the November date, that is 10 months after the claimed build start date, to now be February, that is now a 12 month build or a slip of 20%

    Wonder what the next "slip" will be?

    I can also see NBNco announcing these areas going RFS yet RSPs still lagging behind offering a service that can be ordered due to OSS/BSS issues.

    If the dates slip on the IT system then that will slow everything down, it really needs to be ready well before the actual area goes RFS so RSPs can onboard etc.

    I know you know this D&C, but I think others need to be reminded. There is a fair bit of work in it for RSPs, so much so that some NBNco resellers withdrew their products due to the complexity of integrating the new IT changes.

    This may be a blessing in disguise, if there's a change of government before this, you could end up with FTTP instead.

    where the 95 and 77 are there are those bullet shaped telstra pillars and next to them are node cabinets
    im in the area serviced by 64 which has one of those rim cabinets. does this mean i wont get fttn after all? Im gonna be stuck using a wireless dongle for the rest of my bloomin life

    if you go to
    https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au/ and enter your address or one very close you will see a map and on the left will be some information showing the DA that you are in, the map will give you the DA boundaries. You can also then move the place pin around and get the shapes of other DAs.
    From there you can use eyes, feet and google map street view to try and locate your pillar and possible node site

    What does Bespoke Connection Required really mean?

    NBN has gone live in my area but the NBN website says "There may be an issue at your specific address."
    mynbn.info says "Bespoke Connection Required"

    There are 5 freestanding units on the block, but all had the outside boxes installed and cables run to the street 6 months to a year ago.

    I called a provider and asked a few months back, they said maybe they ran out of connections in the street due to the 5 units, but I think they were just guessing. Alternative theories seem to be a paperwork backlog for MDUs, or wrong information in the database.

    Can anyone shed any light? Is it anything that can be hastened by following up, or is it just a case of sit tight and wait?

    Thanks for any info,

    A "bespoke connection" is a specialised connection. Most houses in my street were relatively simple hook ups from the pole to the house eave. I started to worry when my house appeared to have been skipped, however in my case, "bespoke connection" required a separate team of contractors who specialised in units or other unique underground connections to complete the work.

    These guys turned up with ground penetrating radar to locate the route of the comms conduit beneath the driveway and marked out the route with some form of wash away paint. This allowed them to determine the length of the conduit for their draw cable etc.

    So, sit tight and wait. They haven't forgotten about your house.

    All that stuff was done about a year ago... the fibre from the units to the street is there. I had a long chat to the guys that installed it while they waited for a plumber after nicking a water pipe. That was 6-9 months before the street itself became active.

    I have been waiting patiently. I just sometimes wonder whether somebody is waiting for a notification that will never come because there is nothing left to do...

    Hi TheRealFace,

    Apologies for the confusion, the map is out of date.

    While your area was listed as being in the 18 month plan in April 2015, it has since been removed in the July revision of the plan. nbn� has not provided any reasoning for the removal, however, you may wish to contact them to see if they have anything useful to say about the removal.

    I will update the map as soon as possible.

    Hi ClaudeKrowe,

    Those percentage and figures are only applicable to rollouts currently in place (i.e. areas in build or build prep). It does not account for areas that are in the 18 month plan... because nbn� does not release technology mix information to the public.

    However, I am told that early modelling of the 4GLS area will have ~9% FTTP and the rest FTTN.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Daniel,

    being a huge ask to connect up enormous numbers of householders in the entire continent (Tasmania included) having customers contact nbn direct, I think they recognise that would swamp them. I understand the argument you are making though.

    The best thing is to wait for the householder communication from nbn (at Ready for Service) and then contact your preferred ISP direct for an nbn connection.

    ALSO

    Could I just make a community wide request to please just respect others when you post, not all members who read in here are versed with supreme levels of knowledge and if we lambast people it will make it less welcoming for newcomers to the forums

    Not possible.

    The boundary to our land lies 10 m outside the NBN mapped area currently served by 3LE0=51-09 (that zone is marked purple). Our house is 70 m outside the corresponding wireless coverage area. Because we have a clear line of sight to both of these wireless towers from our rooftop, I asked Aussie Broadband to try & get us onto the NBN coverage map (they seemed fairly positive about getting us onto the map - eventually).

    The Ruby tower is actually a bit closer to us (8.9 km) and I was wondering why the Ruby area isn't marked purple yet. Addresses in the orange area around Ruby simply show as build currently in progress - ie on NBNco map (eg. addresses on Ruby Arawata Rd, Ruby). However the Ruby tower was supposedly turned on on July 7. EDIT { Your link shows Ruby addresses as having service available. }

    I was simply checking to see if our land had been added to the fixed wireless active zone & I wondered why the map at Ruby hasn't turned purple yet.

    Should I read anything into the fact that the DeVoted SQ tool shows my property as "Service Class 0" i.e. set for FTTP, but myNBN does not..?

    The myNBN site shows that the general area I'm in will eventually be getting FTTN (part of the 18 month plan which keeps slipping further behind). Though there are several greenfields all around me already active with FTTP, and this whole area would have been one of the first ones in the country for going all FTTP (until the change of Govt' threw that out the window).

    I wonder if DeVoted are thus basing theirs on some out-dated info' in some locations.

    Anyway, thanks for providing such a great site and all the effort you put in. Much appreciated.

    An ADA does not necessarily represent the area represented by a single node. In this case, there are multiple nodes in 2HAM-09-14.

    362 Glebe Road has 422 units, 364 Glebe Rd has another 516 units each which will likely be served by several FTTB "nodes" inside the premises.

    For all intents and purposes, they will be part of the 2HAM-09-14 ADA... but will eventually be forked off into a separate MPS (multi-premises site) ADA when the rollout is completed.

    Ah yes, MDU/MPS makes sense now, thanks for that. So the current count of ADAs now is really the minimum number of "nodes" so far.

    It will be interesting to watch that information evolve as it will answer a few questions around:

    - when (what situation or premises count) they'd deploy in-building FTTB
    - when they'd stick an extra node nearby to perhaps share between several MDUs and
    - when the MDU just has to share the ordinary node connected to the local pillar.

    14 Milford St has 101-subpremises � so that unit block will get its own FTTB DSLAM. At a later date, that may be forked off as a separate MPS ADA for reporting purposes... but is technically still part of the 2HAM-12-11 ADA.

    The remaining 217 premises will be connected using the 384 port node (2HAM-12-11-FNO-001) that you've found.

    You could infer that, I guess. An ADA almost always corresponds with the area serviced by a Telstra DA... within it, network designs allow for multiple DSLAMs (nodes) for different purposes like FTTB in MDUs.

    That answers my question :) - in this case a FTTB DSLAM appears and not a full on node.

    I suppose the nomination that the build is "FTTN" when it can include portions of FTTB is a bit confusing but it seems like there is no real easy way to find this out.

    Edit: Still more information than just "fixed line" though, which I'm thankful for :)

    Particularly 4GLS � GLADSTONE, as it is now 1-9 and read somewhere october (starting)

    Any news on 4GLS Service Classes or other data like such. According to the NBN Bundy forum threads they are very well advanced there and move up to here next, from what I read, between the lines

    Keen to see the trucks with the big rolls of bright green cable

    Does anyone know what UPLOAD speeds a typical fttN home connection gets?

    Thanks

    Hi All,

    I just have a general question as I'm currently in a brownfields estate where Telstra has commenced work on repairing pits etc. in order for us to get NBN (FTTN) now on the 18 month plan.

    Considering I'm on what is classed as a 'semi-rural' property how exactly can I locate where my nearest pillar and possible node site is?

    I do currently have ADSL2 which was recently 'upgraded' via a tophat (now I get 6mbps) so is that the location where my FTTN would then jump onto copper?

    As I need to increase my upload capacity I'm thinking about lodging a request with NBN for a FTTP estimate due to my speed issue relating to length and quality of copper now.

    I did read that this would be cheaper when logged during the planning phase but would like an idea of roughly how far away the node would be.

    Thanks in advance

    Plug your address in and around the red boundry is where a Pillar should be.

    Many thanks for that, but my address simply draws a straight line back to the exchange (which I presume means I am connected directly to the exchange)

    That looks like a long cable run for FTTH

    Ignore above, adsl2exchanges is useless for cabinets.

    Punch address into:
    https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au/

    That will narrow down your DA, which will be the location of your cabinet. It won't pinpoint it, but should narrow it down a lot for you to have a look next time you drive round the area. The tophat upgrades are glaringly obvious as it's usually a really old discoloured cabinet with a brand new cabinet 'hat' plonked on top. From there, measure along roads back to your place. At a guess about ~3.5km or so cable length based on your sync.

    Upload capacity will likely increase, however you aren't going to have a particularly great FTTN experience if they don't move or add in any new cabinets unfortunately.

    Many thanks for your help kind sir, You are almost spot on (my cabinet is approx 3.2km away.

    I'm guess due to the low density residential element literally on 'this side of the road' (the other is all full fibre Greenfields) that my only chance to improve this would be for NBN Fibre on demand.

    4km of fibre could cost a pretty penny � I'll see what they have to say.

    I haven't checked in a while, but I think the deal was if you were scheduled for FTTN you had to wait till that happened first. I could very much be wrong however.

    And no problemo, glad you found it :)

    This is a bit off track for this thread, but the other thing to consider in this situation is how far away all the other premises in your DA are from that cabinet? I've seen many cases where the existing cabinet is hundreds of metres, if not more, from the nearest premises in the DA. Often when served by a cabinet there is no corresponding pillar either, or the cabinet is shared by multiple DAs where one gets a pillar and the other doesn't.

    I'd suggest they would likely install the node and possibly a new pillar at a more central/closer aggregation point (as has happened elsewhere) if the distance is that great to most premises in the DA. 1km+ from the node is going to test the viability of VDSL, let alone 3km! I'd be waiting to see what happens first.

    Agreed an apologies to the op (mods feel free to move where applicable)

    In my area I'm probably in the same position as approximately 30% of users connected to that cabinet (some are further away)

    It will be interesting to see what they do as the average block width in my area is 60 � 70m wide so we are spread out considerably.

    I appreciate your detailed response and part of my thinking as it is in planning stage this is the apparently the cheapest time to apply, yet my application mat result in me wearing unnecessary cost (as they were going to install new hardware anyway, but now we have someone else to pay for it.

    Next time I see the technicians out I'll have a chat as they have all been incredibly helpful when I've asked them a question in the past about it.

  • Aus-Archer

    Could someone with a little more knowledge about the rollout, particularly wireless areas, explain what's happening with the rollout in some places?

    The example being Cohuna in Victoria (and some towns in the surrounding areas). There's a Wireless coverage area surrounding the town which is indicated by the maps as being "Build Commenced", but the actual township is displayed as if it's not covered and any address check reports the roll out not having started yet.

    Is this something to do with the planning process, a map or data glitch, or something else completely? What's really happening for these towns like this?

  • Roofwalker

    Aus-Archer writes...

    Is this something to do with the planning process

    I'd say so � Wikipedia gives town population of 2,313 . Almost certainly too dense for fixed wireless base station coverage.

    A FW base station can generally handle only a few hundred connections.

    Cohuna will probably have to wait along with many other small towns in regional areas. I guess FFTN (or some other technology) might appear in due course.

    I was looking at mynbn.info from an iphone where unlike the desktop version, there is no "tab" for the 3 year plan option. And what you get on the screen is the "Check where the NBN is coming to you".

    This mobile version only takes you to the 18 month plan and is missing the 3 year info that the desktop version has on the same equivalent map.

    On the mobile version the 3 year info is accessed from a menu represented by a 3 horizontal line icon and not obvious when you go to the entry page which tempts you to type in your address in the address checker.

    Also noting that whereas my suburb is only listed as HFC on the 3 year data Delimiter released, my street address on the mynbn.info results in both HFC and FTTN as possible. This is because the Service area for my suburb has one of the suburbs planned to get FTTX and the rest HFC, which for some reason the mynbn website has not split up into suburb specific even though I put my suburb name into the address checker.

    The map actually shows the 3 year construction plan � but is labeled incorrectly on the map legend. I'll get this fixed soon.

    which for some reason the mynbn website has not split up into suburb specific even though I put my suburb name into the address checker.

    There's a lot of redevelopment going on in the background so that the site can handle the two technologies in the 3 year plan. Currently, it's able to handle current rollout areas with different technologies � but not future areas with different technologies.

    It's not really possible to determine and spit out which access technology you'd be using simply by correlating suburb names alone. I'm working on a geospatial solution by estimating HFC boundaries, but it'll take some time to complete.

    Hope you can appreciate the mammoth task that awaits me :)

    Much appreciated.

    In the NBNCo 3 year RFS and Construction Start Date data that Delimiter released last week, if a suburb is only every listed once under the 4 tabs with only one technology (i.e HFC), it is possible that another part of that suburb will get a different technology with build commencing/ending after 3 years.

    To map the data against suburb, you'd need to take the rows of data with more than one suburb and split them up into rows of data for each of the suburbs listed in the single field. (into a relational database format). Then you can easily correlate/map the planned indicative technology type(s) with the suburb name.

    The current algorithm is a bit more complicated than that, so it's not as easy to implement as one may think :) Be rest assured, I'm working on improving the map. In the meantime, the data is available on the detailed Service Area pages.

    However, it lists the number of premises as 43,600 which is VASTLY more premises than the entire population of Bundeena and Kurnell. The 3 year plan at nbnco.com.au says the number of premises in the Bundeena, Kurnell NBN plan is only 3,600.

I've tried getting cable in the past and was told I had to get it via satellite (no power poles, etc). Does this mean they will be rolling out cable in our streets as well or going with FTTN?

    myNBN had my place as active first before NBN and before most if not all ISPs

    Keep in mind that my experience is just one anecdote and many others will have a different experience � when an area goes RFS it just means a large percentage of properties are serviceable not all of them

    enter your address and it will give you a map of copper Distribution areas, not the DA number.
    then move the pin around your town to different locations and note all the DA numbers.

    Isnt a mdu situated or placed inside most units power box and then wired up inside the building daisyd floor by floor.

    I got the impression fttp was (node to mdu via fibre) but seems its ( node to mdu & fibre to internal mdu? or is that ffttb.) sooo confusing.

    I've been keeping an eye on MyNBN for awhile now and in the last couple of months my address has gone from Ready For Serivce @ 01.03.2016 to RFS@ Q1 2016. Today the site says it was RFS as of 10.12.15. It is possible the date could jump forward so far?

    NBNCO.com.au just says build started Sept 15

    Called Telstra and the guy said he uses both sites but wasn't sure and that I should ring NBNco.

    Called NBNco and that guy said if the build only started in September 15 that it would probably be mid to late 2016 before it was RFS.

    Went for a drive and there is definitely a tower which wasn't there a month or two ago (painted with red and white stripes, I guess because there is an airport nearby).

    Should I be getting excited? (I'm on 3G 18gb p/month for $81 and I only get around 50% signal) Or do I possibly still have a lengthy wait on my hands?

    The issue was that one of the addresses originally assigned to this tower (along Laffing Waters Lane) was re-assigned to the 2BTH-51-02-BTEH rollout area. The automated checker than presumed that meant your tower went live, where as in fact, it hadn't. I hope this makes sense.

    The issue was that one of the addresses originally assigned to this tower (along Laffing Waters Lane) was re-assigned to the 2BTH-51-02-BTEH rollout area.

    Hi Jxeeno,
    2BTH-51-06-GLAM is on Limekilns Road, and I was getting exited as well, FW for Christmas. Q1 2016 is still good though. Went to work one morning, no tower. There on the way home.
    Laffing Waters Lane is about halfway between those 2 towers.

    yeah.
    colours have gone
    area of map is greatly reduced
    not able to see the status of what is available nearby

    I guess it is more transparent as all you can see is the base map and no other information

    edit:- oh and also the date they say the build commenced for my area is also wrong as nodes were being rolled out and connected 2 to 3 months before the date they use for "build commenced"

    far less info availablel than before, there is so little on the map now they would have been better to ditch it all together and just use the timeline that they have underneath it

    My are apparently goes RTS FEB 5 (according to Telstra Wholesale), less than 7 weeks, yet nbn� can't even put that on the timeline.
    Guess it makes it easy for nbn� to claim they are meeting their targets, especially as they only now seem to publish RFS dates after they actually make an area ready

    Hi guys,

    I noticed that my NBN fixed wireless tower at Numurkah has gone RFS as of 16th December.

    3NMK-51-04-NUMU � Numurkah

    I am within its region, however the NBN website hasn't updated as yet stating thats its RFS.

    What should I expect?, ie keep checking the nbnco website until it updates?, or does this not really mean i'll have NBN fixed wireless anytime soon?.

    Cheers

    mynbn.info says your tower is active now. This site is rarely wrong and usually ahead of the nbnco map. It might be worth ringing a few RSPs such as iinet and seeing whether you can place an order. Some but not all RSPs can access the internal NBN databases.

    Sorry about that... looks like it suffered from the same problem as /forum-replies.cfm?t=2104304&p=78#r1549

    I'll implement a more vigorous checking system for fixed wireless as it seems there's quite a bit of footprint fiddling before an area goes ready for service.

    Currently, the date provided by nbn is end of this month. I wouldn't expect it to go live till January (who works during the new year break?)

    Hey Jxeeno,

    Some Brownfields 3 Year rollout markers on myNBN map say just FTTN and others, like the one that covers me, says FTTN,FTTP. Does it just say both technologies because there are FTTP Greenfield estates surrounding me (I'm literally encircled in a less than 1 km radius by FTTP estates) ?

  • amigauser

    Good news, just checked and the tower has gone live and we can now in fact put an order in according to the official NBN website.

    Will put an order in and see what happens.

    Just wondering if there is an issue with 2HAM-08. it has been saying RFS on 8/12/15 however the NBNCO page (plus NBNCO customer service (via email), TPG and Exetel) and the Telstra spreadsheet are all saying not yet (or Jan 22). All the surrounding SAMs are also saying 22-jan on mynbn and elsewhere so i'm suspecting a localised issue??

    I've received hardcopy flyers that I can now order broadband over nbn.
    The nbnco website indicate we are connected and can switch to their infrastructure.

    Checking my address mynbn.info indicates no rollout schedule available, however the map has my building in purple, ie: Ready for Service.
    Only iiNet appears able to detect that I'm connected: Telstra, Optus, AusBBS, Belong all think we're not.

    Is there issues with apartment buildings and numbers?

    Hey all,

    So I have a question. The MyNBN Info tells me that the tower I can see from my front door is active, but the map shows I can't get Fixed Wireless. My line of thought is that at the roadside � no, we can't see the tower, but up on the hill where my house sits, I can see it out my lounge room window!

    How can I find out what is going on? How can the tower be active, I can see it, but not get service?

    Any assistance would be great.

  • 2016-Jan-5, 8:04 pm

    Not sure whether its worth editing, but you show 8NLN-01 as ready for service on the 16th December. NBN Co made a mistake declaring it ready for service and the earliest date for connections to commence is now 11/01/16

    Caused a flow on effect of confusion as RSP's were relying on the info from NBN Co and booking activations � which couldnt actually happen and led to some pretty angry consumers!

    Awesome, I now have fixed wireless available........at my back fence! Fixed wireless tower for my town has just gone live but of course I can't get on it as I am in town and it is only servicing the surrounding region.

    I'm trying to get an answer from NBN as to why I can't access fixed wireless in the interim. Is there more to it than getting an antenna installed for a couple of years, and then removing it once FTTN is available??

    Not a criticism, just a point to be aware of, at

    Zoom back out a few rolls of the mouse and look, South East of the Rockhampton CBD, there are five blocks of FW � over the Fitzroy River

    Hmm, possibly. It looks like even though I made changes to do additional checks, it wasn't sufficient to keep out this case because a large number of premises got reallocated to an adjacent tower.

    I'm going to wait for an official update on this. It may be the case that while they've declared the area ready for service, they simply don't have capacity to connect people yet.

    Since "ready for service" has many implications (e.g. it will determine when the copper disconnection date is), I'm keen to get the official word on what the status of 8NLN-01 :)

    I think you're referring to the orange colour? It's actually an artifact overlapping rasters of the 3 year shading... so denser areas appear darker. I've been planning to change the way the rasters are rendered for some time now... but never got around to it :(

    There are estimated build commence dates for areas that are currently in build preparation. As with the ready for service dates, these are estimates and are subject to change. You can expect the rollout map to reflect the "build commenced" status one month after an area is said to have commenced build.


    As a side note, I will be updating the map sharings on Monday to reflect the latest map update.

    This could probably go in the Rollout thread, but a lot of my assumptions are based on the great info you've been providing Jxeeno...

    It's been bugging me for a while now, where the "new" FTTN information is from NBN... Anything new seems to have been put on pause for about 6 months now.

    Up until August last year there was a steady stream of FTTN SAMs being announced as starting Build Prep, then Build Commenced and so on. Since then there has been no new areas reported as starting Build Prep. Even the Prep additions for August 2015 in your post here are not showing up on either MyNBN or the current communities document. So the last areas into Prep are really July 2015.

    Perhaps they'd greatly over committed the planned areas for the achievable rollout speed and had to reign in the horses. Maybe the impending HFC start up is/will be diverting resources this year. Maybe they're just not releasing the info anymore? The optimistic side of me is really hoping its because they've ditched FTTN and will shortly announce a move to FTTdp.

    There's been information about Design ready areas, but nothing going past that point. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I would have thought a project of this size had to keep moving forward to achieve their self-proclaimed "heroic" targets...

    Hi jxeeno, do you know if 2NWR-04 has gone RFS 2 months early or if it is simply a glitch or mistake?

    Hey Gariscus,

    Doing a random sample of 10 premises in 2NWR-04, I cannot find a single location that's actually "serviceable". I suspect someone at the nbn mapping department pressed the wrong button :)

    Sorry I don't have better news!

    It looks like nbn.com has been updated again.

    Now it doesn't show the shaded areas at all on the rollout map.

    Welcome to the new "transparent" (quote: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull) NBN.

    First they removed FTTP areas, then they added the FTTN shaded areas, now they've even removed that.

    Trying to obscure the NBN rollout even further.

    York WA has finished for fixed wireless howver im located in central york and wireless is denied to our address even though the transmitters at mt blackwell and balladong and the red line between them goes straight over our area. The entire are of York is covered except for the central area.Obviously the powers that be have decided that 20mbps adsl is good enough and we dont need the option .Even more annoying is nbn providers keep dropping off marketing in our mail box. I feel like ringing up southern phone and telling to check residential address before blanketing York with their mail drops.
    So much for nbn.

    Yes: http://www.mynbn.info/map?address=34%20Georgiana%20St,%20York%20WA%206302,%20Australia

    The reason why nbn doesn't allow premises in the centre of York (and most other suburbs around Australia) to access the Fixed Wireless technology is because it is normally only designated for the outskirts of towns and suburbs.

    The denser, central areas of suburbs will usually get a fixed-line technology like HFC � or in your case, either FTTP or FTTN.

    This keeps the fixed wireless towers less congested and means that premises in the denser parts of suburbs can generally get faster speeds.

    Ok thanks for the info. I was just a little frustrated as the check my address on nbn says nothing and I hadn't come across this other map.
    So been reading about FTTN and all the rantings how its old tech and still relying on copper to the premises. My opinion is if your still relying on copper to the premises then FTTN is a waste of time. Future proof is FTTP . But that's money.
    Will it seriously boost my current adsl 20mbps speed ?

    Can I get ssome clarification on this ?

    This means the first area Ready For Service (RFS) will be in the second half of 2017. With York being small it only has 1 SAM. This would mean York will finish construction and be RFS by the second half of 2017 providing theres not many delays. Then you will be able to connect to the NBN.

    An announcement

    Today, I have some very exciting news to share. First, that myNBN.info is now part of the finder.com.au family. And with that, I also step into the role of Publisher for Broadband and Internet TV at finder.com.au.

    When I created myNBN almost three years ago now, my objective was to help Australians track the National Broadband Network rollout in their area by making a website that was accessible and easy to understand. Amazingly, over 800,000 Australians have done exactly that using the website.

    That's why I'm very excited about this next phase for myNBN. As many of you may know, last year was a very busy year for me. Not only did I have a full load at university, I also had various websites to manage, freelance jobs to complete, and a part-time job at finder.com.au. Oh, and I possibly also have a personal life :)

    By moving the site to finder.com.au, I hope to streamline my own workload, and also allow the site improve, expand and grow by leveraging the skills and expertise of the team at finder.com.au.

    I will still continue to be intimately involved with the site as the Publisher for Broadband and Internet TV at finder.com.au. We�ve already planned user experience improvements, while also maintaining the detailed information that myNBN is known for.

    There are also plenty more exciting projects ahead in the roadmap to look forward to!

    I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on this adventure thus far, especially those who have donated in the website's early days. It�s been a real pleasure working with everyone!

    Wow! Big news jxeeno!

    From a "consumer", as long as myNBN stays at least as awesome as it is now and you continue to make changes/improvements in the ever-changing world of "NBN", it will still remain the "go to site" for the NBN rollout � ahead of NBN's own website.

    You need to look after number 1 (i.e. you) and it sounds like this deal goes a long way towards doing that.

    Keep up the awesome work. :)

    Well done Kenneth! Your service to the community is incredible.

    Regarding the actual site, I note the move to Finder.com.au's UI has introduced some (perhaps intentional) usability issues?

    The old (well not old, but 2.0) version of myNBN had a really nice universal search in the top right hand corner which let you search through SAs, SAMs and all sorts � very useful because I frequently had to search for greenfields developments for which I'd forgotten the AYCA- number.

    It was also excellent to see the network hierarchy tab (very useful for nbn engineering works re greenfields) and the take-up rates � is there a chance these could be making a return? I understand that the general public probably isn't too interested in these...

    Yes, I'm not too sure where we are with that one. I got quite a bit of feedback about the hierarchy tab being fairly confusing... but let's see what we can do :)

    the take-up rates

    Take-up rate graphs haven't been updated since early 2014. They were a bit complex to maintain, and so, were phased out. You can still see current take-up using the ADA tab or the summary (by service class).

    IE 8 has display issues but seeing as that's now discontinued, I don't know if it will be worth the fix or not and what are the chances that someone on IE8 will be on the site anyway?

    I'm surprised about IE11 through but I guess sites aren't really designed for with Internet Explorer 11 in mind anymore. Edge is built differently to IE11 so that explains why it's working fine for me on Edge.

    Firefox works fine (I don't have a screenshot, but it looks the same/similar to Chrome/Edge). I have seen the disclaimer issue in IE 11. It seems to be a page rendering thing. Edge can "spoof" itself as either Chrome or Safari, so it will render pages like they will, whereas IE 11 won't.

    Nice site change too :) Looks a little cleaner.

    You can say that again. The switch to showing MPSes as additional ADAs really screwed that up I guess.

    I really like the "Days In Build" display on the 'Recent Activations' page. Could be good to see on the overall list, although looking at the "Days In Build" stats for the FTTP regions would make anyone want to slit their wrists!

    Speaking of FTTP, I guess that depressing 'History' tab from myNBN 1.0 which showed, month-by-month, how delayed the sodding things were has gone the way of the dodo? I guess it's not so relevant any more seeing as FTTN builds "seem" to "make" their RFS "targets".

    Why the redirection ?

    Regarding the color coded 3 year roll out map, why is the MTM details/suburbs hee different from that from NBN's MTM PDF ?

    for example, NBN MTM pdf states for my area "Nollamara" among others, construction will start end of 2018, but of your website, its not even color coded., which indicates to me you do not have up to date details, regardless of if it may change or not.

    Is this still suppose to help users regardless? Although the MTM can change... and while your site, which would be be more accurate way than a small footnote that NBN says that u can't see without a magnifier glass, its still shows different areas for this.

    Of course if u read NBN's MTM u would know this already, looks like this site (your) site is more visual indication than any assuming it's always accurate even for MTM.

    Hey, thanks for that. This list didn't come up for me before when I looked, but I can see it now.

    Before, I got a very small list with only 4 providers, but I can't find this smaller list any more.

    I guess things are still in transition.

    The satellite information has actually been improved because NBN begun working out which addresses are getting satellite.

    You can see, for example 164 Tidbinbilla Rd, Paddys River ACT 2620, Australia will state that it's in the satellite footprint. About half of the 400k premises can currently be searched, with more to come before the expected commercial launch of Sky Muster in April.
